1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
This standard covers the survey work to establish the route of the transmission line. The
work consists of ascertaining the definite route, making the topographic survey and
recording it on plan and profile drawings.

route are in accordance with those presented in the latest revision of SEC General
Specification No. 01-TMSS-01 , titled “ General Requirements for All Transmission
Equipment / Materials”.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

shall be tentative. However, the contractor shall check this line route prior to the actual
ground survey. The ground survey shall be executed along this line route and no
departure from it shall be accepted without prior approval by SEC. Before starting the
detailed survey a walkover survey of the line shall be made, various feasible routes shall
be ascertained and marked on the submitted drawing for approval.

line route including but not limited to:
1. Using the route selection aspects as in Clause 4 below.
2. Furnishing all personnel, material, equipment required to do the work, providing
necessary engineering services together with all the necessary labour, skill, techniques,
tools and facilities. Supplying all other items of whatever nature not specified herein as
required for completion of all work indicated in this specification.
3. Making a preliminary survey between terminal points of the OHL
4. Determining and submitting a tentative line route for SEC approval.
5. Staking of route centre line points, angles and terminal points.
6. Supplying of plan and profile of the line route.

CONTRACTOR shall comply with following responsibilities:
a. The contractor shall verify that the required clearances are obtained as well as the
location and alignment of each structure using his actual survey data in conjunction
with the plan and profile drawings, and then proceed to layout the right-of-way for
